#### Editor’s note
|
| |
|
Performance budgets are the cornerstone of a successful speed strategy. They bring clear goals for teams and organisations. Budgets make aligning on the same vision and track towards success easier. While not everything can and should be data-driven, it’s challenging to move the speed needle to where we want it to be without clear objectives.
Can you ignore notifications for set budgets? Absolutely. That’s why it’s **vital to decide between aspirational and defensive performance budgets. **If we’re starting on the performance journey and creating budget values for impeccable performance, we might be setting up for a disappointment that creates more friction than wins. Incremental improvement is better than no improvement
